Mockup of a monster taming with some light survival elements, based on the monsters I created when I was 11 watching pokémon! And a bit on Survival Kids.

Your color palette is beautiful, I love the purple

Kicking around the idea of doing a LowD remake of Megaman 1, basically keeping the same resolution and graphic styles, but with way more detailed animations, parallax backgroounds, some faux lighting etc.

This looks really interesting. Are you going to try to mirror the ux, game physics, controls, etc as best as you can to orginal or will you add some embellishments there as well?

[Shambrook]

That's something I've been tossing up in my head, I'd want to keep the game physics/controls and just general feel of it as close to possible as MM1, but that's a game I replay like, once a year so there's a tonne of shit that just bugs me about it. One change I'd deffintly be making is to the big eyes.
They have two kinds of jumps, a big jump and a little jump and you need to run under there big jump, but there's no way to tell wich kinda jump they're about to do so it's basically impossible to get past em without taking a hit. I'd defintly fix that. But other stuff I've been thinking of like, if you redo a level having all the enemies replaced with harmless worker robots, or turning the score system into a currency so you can buy moves from later games like the slide and charge shot and e tanks, or warning the player not to do wileys castle before you get the magnet beam (A  hidden item in Elecmans stage that it's literally impossible to complete the game without)  are ideas I've had but I'm not decided weather I want to actually do them. Or stick truer to the original game.

that looks like megaman, but with vaporwave background?

I guess if you are already changing animations it wouldn't hurt to add such details and I don't think a change like that would impact the game too much.

[Shambrook]

Yeah I figure just having them crouch down lower before the big jumps would make dealing with them so much less infuriating and is a pretty minor change.

Hey Guys. I saw this thread and want to bring up some stuff that I came up years back:

Note: THIS WAS BEFORE I BECAME A PRODUCER AND WAS AN ARTIST WITH NO IDEA ABOUT SCOPE MANAGEMENT.





About CLOT: I wanted to create a game that was solely focused on the power fantasy of being a Hemomancer- a guy who could control the blood of other living beings. This would probably be like a AAA or near AAA budget because of the technical difficulties and amount of animation it would need to pull the game off. I would imagine a lot of targeting on the person's limbs and pulling and holding the mouse on different parts of their body.

I didn't really think too much when it came to game design- but other ideas were timing punches and dragging (their hands) to different direction to sort of direct their punch to other people. Same goes with enemies with guns- where you would push and pull their body parts and so on.

I think this IP was one of my favorite IPs to work on as an artist- and I really liked everything about it. xD

There is comics about driving game I can't find back, it's 3 panels:
1. noob: driving on in a straight line across the wild ignoring the road curve
2. pro: Follow the road curve
3. expert: driving on in a straight line across the wild ignoring the road curve (same image as 1)

That's how scope management felt to me as I realized in 2. the insane man hours (CUT!! SIMPLE! HELP!), but then I learn to love the bomb.

Man, those mockups are pretty good, but the website you signed them with is not working.
